What I don't get is why is Federer even being talked about as being on the downswing at all? He was number 1 in the world only a month ago and is number 2 presently.

You're right, Fed is such a great player that even with reduced footwork and defensive play he still is at the top of the game.

In comparison to ******, as soon as the effects of aging happens and his physicality drops he won't be a top contender, because his game is all physical. Not shotmaking talent like Federer. Just big muscles to generate moonballs.
